~Your best rest~
Unique private forest villa for short-term rental in Aveiro area, Portugal
the nest
This is a unique place for a forest retreat in a remote and secluded location. Enjoy isolation, privacy and quietude whilst surrounded by nature. Sleep to the sound of our waterfalls and the water stream that crosses the property, and wake up to crickets and birds. During the warmer months it is great out, under the sun or the soothing shadow of one of our close to 70 species of trees, whereas in the colder months you’ll enjoy being inside looking at the alluring landscape that keeps changing throughout the year.
Gallery
All photographs were taken inside our property, including our very own waterfalls.
Due to the ever changing nature of the surrounding vegetation these images may not be an updated depiction of our property.
The accommodation area is 160 square metres, while the whole property is around 2 acres. We have two bedrooms, one with a King-size bed and the other with a double bed, a full bathroom with a bathtub for two, a toilet, a cozy space for reading and relaxing, a dining and living room, and two balconies.
All rooms have windows or French windows facing outdoors, including the kitchen and both bathrooms (which are fitted with mirrored glasses). Outside you will find sun loungers, hammocks, chairs, stools, tables and sun umbrellas.
Our kitchen is fitted with sink, dishwasher, refrigerator, top-stove, electrical oven, microwave oven, toaster, Nespresso coffee maker, electrical boiler, blender, and a hand blender. You will find salt, sugar, oil, olive oil, and vinegar.
The house was built in 2002, and has two floors: the upper floor is entirely at the disposal of one group of guests at a time, while the lower floor is reserved for the hosts. There are two bedrooms — King-size and double beds — (capacity is four people), a bathroom and a toilet, a corridor, a kitchen, a living and dining-room, a hall, a cozy space for reading and relaxing, and two balconies. All the spaces display large windows to the outside. There are indoors and outdoors dining areas. Not all forest area is easily accessible and as such our outdoors are not suited to people with mobility needs. Our grounds are not safe for unattended children, due to fall hazard in some spots. The neighbouring zone is forest area with no houses around, typically very quiet.
Around the property there are no shops or services, but at Sever do Vouga village (5 km away) — «the home of the blueberry» — you will find all kinds of useful services, as well as a number of tourist attractions.
The property is 80 km (60 min) by car away from Porto’s airport, 45 km (40 min) from Aveiro’s railway station, and 20 km (30 min) from Albergaria-a-Velha’s bus terminal.
Amenities
We are a self catering forest villa suited to stays of one to four guests during three to fourteen nights.
